And that's no lie HummBebe. I've been amazed at how the aftermarket people have stayed away from the H3. Hell, you'd think we'd bought a Nissan or sumpn!
Your Hummer's lookin' downright awesome. You simply MUST get Hummer Magazine to do an article on it to show Hummer what people expect! (psst, please PLEASE don't tell them that the I5 is a great engine though
)
If you could, stop on a set of scales and see how much your H3 weighs. It'd be interesting. You're building your very own safety factor in there! I'd love to see the look of a Toyota Tundra driver's face if you get into a fender bender with 'em! I plasma cut and made my own bumpers for my last Scout II. A new 4 runner and I backed into each other, a mutual accident. I scratched my steel bumper, he got $1500 damage. Hmmmm, maybe you're onto something!?
One thing I always wanted to do to my custom bumpers though was to cut in recesses on the corners for ultra heavy duty casters (imagine Frankenstein's carry-on luggage) so that when I got rock hung, it'd just roll. Goofy lookin', but functional eh? I had a receiver mounted winch because most often, I was pulling someone from behind me or I'd nosed into trouble and needed to pull myself back out. I had two batteries and a heavy duty amp. Boy did THAT show me where the old IH wiring harness was weak!
Any idea as to what the work's going to cost people to follow in your footsteps?
